Benedictine monastery on St. Mary Isle. Alternatively, rent kayaks, bikes, or scooters to explore at your own pace. Overnight in Polača or
Pomena.
Bisevo’s Blue Cave
Visit the Blue Cave, a stunning natural wonder (weather permitting, entrance fee applies). Continue to Hvar with a swim stop and lunch
